Worldââ¬â¢s longest golf course tees off in October

PERTH ââ¬' The worldââ¬â¢s longest golf course has been officially launched between Western Australia and South Australia.

The 18-hole, par 72 course Nullarbor Links Golf Course stretches 1,365 kms from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Ceduna in South Australia with one hole in each participating town or roadhouse along the way.

The Nullarbor Links Golf Course allows golfers to tee off in either location and follow the course along the Eyre Highway, playing a hole in each location, some as far as 100 kms apart.

En route, golfers visit towns and places of interest like Ceduna, renowned for producing 12 million oysters annually; Cocklebiddy with its vast underwater caves and Kalgoorlie, the gold capital of Australia.

The official course opening will be marked by a four-day event starting in Ceduna on October 22, and finishing in Kalgoorlie five days later.

Nullarbor Golf Tours will be running eight-day tours from Adelaide to Kalgoorlie from A$2,635 per person based on twin share. Tours include accommodation, transfers between holes and meals. Golf clubs are available for use.
